My question involves an injury that occurred in the state of: Calif.
Immediately after an auto accident before the police show up, the other party (their fault per report, witnesses) makes a number of verbal statements one of which admits liability and another was a "promise to pay" for the accident.
How would a verbal/oral contract factor into settlement negotiation with their insurance -- would it possibly lead them to deny coverage on my claim or deny defense if it goes to court?
Thanks
